Anglo-Egyptian Sudan

Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was a condominium of the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Egypt that existed from 1899 to 1956, with Khartoum serving as its capital. The colony was created in 1899 after the defeat of the Mahdists, with Egypt maintaining its previous claims to Sudan and the British governing it through right of conquest. From 1914 to 1922, Egypt and the Sudan were formally a part of the British Empire after the British established the "Sultanate of Egypt" protectorate, and the Sudan came under British rule after Egyptian independence in 1922. By 1924, Egypt had very little control over Sudan, but the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 led to Britain and Egypt ceding Sudan its independence in 1956.
